When I was cycling with George Sportif through Italy about a month ago we met two Japanese tourers who were doing it fixed. We sat down in a restaurant with them and got chatting about how nuts they were touring on a fixed and trying to work out how they were doing the same hills we were on a gear that was higher than our highest (I reckon they were pushing up some tbh).
Anyway, this guy said that in Japan people go crazy for vintage english frames and we said that people go crazy for Keirin frames over here. He said he could post over Keirin frames if we sent him classic English frames, this sounded great and we were looking forward to swapping frames with him. He gave us his card and we promised to email him when we got back.
George lost his wallet and the guys card was in it. That's the end of that story.
